Islamists Execute Pro-Palestinian Peace Activist in Gaza
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 14, 2011, 7:38 PM
ISLAMIST extremists in Gaza kidnapped a European journalist and peace activist this week and promised to kill him within 30 hours if Hamas did not release Palestinian prisoners. For the past two and a half years, he has been in Gaza with the International Solidarity Movement, monitoring human rights violations by Israel.
A screengrab from a video posted on YouTube shows an Italian journalist and peace activist Vittorio Arrigoni kidnapped by a Salafist group of radical Islamists in Gaza. (News AU)
Today they killed him.
They didn’t even wait the 30 hours.
Israel Matsav has more:
Arrigoni – who is pro-’Palestinian’ – entered Gaza with the first blockade-running flotilla and has lived in Gaza ever since. Useful idiot.

The religion of peace strikes again. The foolish and naive so called activists are clueless.
Is this another of islam’s great contributions to the world that obama constantly touts?
Will he have anything to say?
He had no comment when his gaza friends used an anti-tank missle against an Israeli school bus nor when a family of five including three children were slaugherted in Israel.
Sidney Allen Johnson commented:
Clueless liberals sometimes do get their just reward. He was a traitor to his own kind. Our enemies neither wanted or needed his self-inflating patronization. If liberals get everything they want they will all end up like him. A fine teachable “incident.”
Jack commented:
More proof that Muslim inbreeding by marrying first cousins leads to predictable results.
Oh, and as per President Obama, lets have NASA make it it’s first priority to improve Islamic self-esteem, by …..well, there is no real way, is there?
Morons.
dave in dallas commented:
He will be replaced soon enough, by another moron, earnestly searching for human rights violations by ISRAEL.
It’s one thing to say “all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” But it’s also true that evil is helped to triumph by STUPID men who do something STUPID.

Just what did the stupid bastard think was gonna happen? Reminds me of the mental defectives that pet the Lions or “share” Salmon with Grizzlies. After all, the animals wouldn’t hurt THEM because they love the animals SO much and the animals appreciate it and are flattered by the presence of the noble one.

i guess on that day, God wasn’t looking out for fools and children. he had been the smartest guy in the room up to that point. luckily, there will be plenty of Darwin/Rachel Corrie awards to go around.

I guess im sorry he got killed, but it just makes me think lefties live in the fantasy world of sunshine and lollipops.
Useful idiots is right on.

Lets send in Obama to do his reporter -activist job. Just do not allow the Secret Service to come along. And do not let prisoners go and see what happens to the barry-the-retarded- racist hater of humans.

I have no sympathy for people like this. Too ignorant for words. No such thing as Pro-Palestinian Peace.

Maybe we can convince the Code Pinkers that their efforts would be better suited on the ground in Gaza?

Comments should have been closed after Rob de Witt’s #3.
That was really all that needed to be said.
american patriot commented:
Readers have permission to box me in as cruel, but here’s my comment anyway. It is unfortunate that this loony, lefty, “Palestine” lover could not have been joined by the Code Pink loonies, the faux defenders of the so-called Palestinians here in this country who after they protest the Great and the Little Satans go back to their comfortable Western lives. These people, and there are lots of them, liberals, leftists, Sparticus League types, Marxists, et alia, DESERVE to feel the harsh treatment handed out routinely by Muslims who claim that their acts of barbarity are Islamic worship! How perverse is all of this. Anything that has to do with Islam is toxic through and through.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Yep… Absolutely no sympathy from me. He chose to willfully ignore 1400 years of their history and chose to climb over the fence and into the lion’s den. He got eaten. That’s what happens. Hey moron, there’s a fence around them for a reason!

Islamist extremist. Isn’t that redundant?

I’m not gleeful over this even if he is my enemy. I cannot help but wonder what all the other Leftists must be thinking about this.
Josh commented:
The character of the descendents of Ishmael is best described in Genesis 16:12.
“And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
They destroy each other and they desolate/ruin everything they are given.
Joanne commented:
Did this group actually think Hamas would care about this man enough to have them use him as a bargaining chip? Hah.
Poor guy, even if he was a useful idiot. He learned his lesson the hard way.
Joanne commented:
#3 – the problem with many appeasers is that they believe they won’t get eaten at all, until it is too late – same as this fella who was slaughtered.
Redwine commented:
The obvious outcome of the Red-Green alliance.

Sad but predictable. I hope the rest of the left is paying attention, but I doubt they will learn their lesson.
Idiots.

Any leftist that thinks they will be killed last for being pro-Jihad is kidding themselves.

Cannon fodder…

It’s almost as stupid as trusting a Marxist to tell the truth. NEVER HAPPENS.
Lee commented:
“I’m not gleeful over this even if he is my enemy. I cannot help but wonder what all the other Leftists must be thinking about this.”
Sorry, but I don’t care. I know that is heartless and cruel, but I just can’t work up any sympathy for this guy. He had plenty of warning and chose to ignore it. What happened was his own fault, and if they had turned him loose he wouldn’t have learned a thing. I wonder if he had learned anything before they killed him.
Somehow, I doubt it.
befuddled commented:
no sympathy whatsoever for him. if not for this accursed oil, Islam would’ve been relegated to the dustbin of history long ago. the more i find out about living under Islam, the more i hate it. what surprises me is how these code pinkos keep avoiding the death trap. they keep being saved by American workers or supporters who just don’t know any better. if i was on the last chopper out, i would first throw these code pinkos out and replace them with somebody more deserving.

WOW. Islam killed someone. Big whoop.
We are fighting a war over here against socialist tyrants.

L.E. Liesner commented:
I wonder how the Main Stream Media is going to spin this so it’s the Israeli’s fault. We already know that the UN will ignore this evil act. The Dudley Do Rights of the world seem to play into the hands of this religion of peace.

The media blackout is probably because they are still trying to figure a way to blame it on Israel and Bush and TEA Partiers and Republicans and Christians and………

Wm T Sherman commented:
Hamas controls everything that happens in Gaza. This is like the shell game of supposed rogue organizations launching rockets into Israel when Hamas has declared a ceasefire. Hamas uses contractors for that. So what. It’s still them.
Does anybody else figure that this was essentially Hamas kidnapping this imbecile and then threatening themselves?

Not exactly. A useful idiot has to have value; he didn’t have any before he was taken hostage, and he has none now.

Somehow this will be spun as an Israeli human rights violation.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for a UN investigation.
Does anyone think there wiil be any protests? perhaps a play about him? or the Pals will name a square after him?

“Rachel Corrie could not be reached for comment.”
Love it! Another great TOOL from the left!
Pelosi should go for a visit!
gus commented:
If HAMAS is in charge, and if we give hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to the PALLIES.
Who is responsible for this? If HAMAS is in charge, they are responsible and they are responsible for all of the missiles shot into Israel.
Is that so hard to understand.

He will not be missed.

Well, for sure, Vittorio Arrigoni is a far wiser man today, than he ever was going to be on this green earth.
Not likely to help him any, though. Bet he wishes he were in Nirvanna, now, instead.

Too bad….he should have stayed in Italy and minded his own business.

Beware of the Trump.
He cares nothing about Republicans, only himself. He is an ego machine. Right now he is establishing his conservative creds, only to use them to siphon off conservative votes when he runs as an independent in 2012. Likely he will be a spoiler and cost the Republicans the presidency in that election. He knows what he is doing.
Don’t trust him!
Marsh626 commented:
At least he was mercifully killed. You should see what happens to the female “human rights activists”. They get kidnapped and are forced to “marry” local arab muslim jihadists who throw a burqa on them and never let them leave their family home / prison. They’re simply never heard from again. They become Abdul’s slave wife #3. Some families have had to hire former special operations soldiers to launch rescure raids for them.
This kind of thing is epidemic on the self-loathing Left. Like that other “human rights activist” who was attacked by a gang of of women in Haiti and later raped. She actually thanked the group of women who beat her up and the man who raped her because she viewed it as oppressed brown people lashing out at their white oppressors…
White guilt is a very disgusting and disturbing thing.
Arch commented:
There is an ancient Middle Eastern parable called the “Frog and the Scorpion.”
A frog is swimming in the Nile. When he passes close to the bank, a scorpion calls to him, “Mr Frog would you let me ride across the river on your back? I can’t swim and I need to get to the other side.”
The frog, remaining at a safe distance, answers, “No! If I let you get on my back, you’ll sting me and I’ll die.”
The scorpion pauses for a moment then assures the frog, “I can’t swim. If I sting you and you die, I’ll drown.”
The frog thinks about it and agrees to take the scorpion across. In the middle of the river, the scorpion stings him.
As the frog is dying he asks the scorpion, “Why did you sting me?”
“This is the Middle East,” he replied.

A little off topic about Trump but I agree. I was immediatly enamered by his refreshing common sense and balls, however, on reflection, he reminds me of someone else that was responsible for Clinton being elected.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about it’s Ross Perot. Ross Perot got the conservatives all stirred up, we supported him and he might have won, but he flaked out big time and allowed Clinton to take the White house.
Trump is another flake! Don’t fall for it. Allen West, is a real man, but will he run? Wouldn’t it be cool if we elected another black man, but this time he loved America, and was conservative. Wouldn’t that put all the liberals racism accusations to rest?
Would the blacks support a conservative? I kindof doubt it. Speaking of racism, blacks voted for Obama 90% and still support him because of the color of his skin. That is the definition of racism.
Sorry to go so off topic
Andreas K. commented:
2009 there was a similar case in Jemen, involving two German girls, who, driven by their interpretation of Jesus’ teachings, ended up there as some kind of helpers in development aid.
Got themselves killed in the end.
Good thing about it, it removes such morons from the gene pool. Now, if just our Green partiers could pull of the same, I’d be happy.
Karen commented:
The person who described this murdered man as a USEFUL IDIOT has lost his humanity–something I am seeing quite often lately. There is no respect for life when you lose humanity–when you determine that you have the moral authority to decide whose life is more useful or less useful and then kill accordingly. There is something very wrong, very dark and disturbing with this mentality. Those who cheer this writer on or agree with his assessment of the murder of this man are not fully human anymore. People need to wake up and remember that we are all connected–that what we do to one, we do to all.
Karen commented:
No doubt most commenters here carelessly saying “he will not be missed” consider themselves good hearted Christians. LOL. Stop and think about what you have written here–how wrong, how hypocritical you are when you cheer the death of another human being.
This sort of inhumanity must stop or we are all doomed. That man had a family and people who loved him and the commenters here dismiss him like garbage. What has happened to humanity?????????????????
Redpillpatriot commented:
Karen, I hope you aren’t planning a trip to the middle east!
It’s not that, it’s the fact that we are so tired of these people telling us the muslims are peacful, and we know better. I would love to be left alone to raise my family in peace, just like the Jews in Isreal would love to be left alone. Unfortuneatly these people will not leave us alone. They want us all dead. You may think what you want, but I am certain God and Jesus want me to defend my family and this great nation against those that hate, and murder, rape, and destroy. Liberals and Demoncrats are in bed with the enemy and will get us all the same that this guy got, if we don’t stand up!
Redpillpatriot commented:
BTW who has lost their humanity, Christians or Muslims……

What’s happened? The Muslims killed compassion, Karen, that’s what.
When even sypathetic fools like Vittorio Arrigoni, who just wanted to help with the plight of the Palesinians is ground up so uselessly by them, they kill our compassion. Compassion that is wasted on the Afghanis who riot and kill U.N. aid workers over the actions of a preacher oceans away. Compassion the West extends to the unfortunate slaves of Mohammed in food, medicine and technology and is rewarded for it by murder and terrorisim.
When we say, “Vittorio Arrigoni will not be missed,” we mean his foolish, willful blindness will not be missed. Much like the drunkard, or drug addict, or gambler, or criminal who wilfully chooses to act on his whims and is destroyed by them.
Did he have a family that we feel sorry for? Yes, abosolutely. His parents tried to raise their boy up to be a good man, fed him, educated him, taught him to be compassionate to the little guy, I suspect. Somewhere along the line, it made him blind to the true nature of those he though he was helping. In that he is idiotic, and that we find no sympathy for.
Now that compassion we might have felt for the slaves of Mohammed must be tempered by the reality that they are not slaves at all. The Palistinians are driven by their ideology to always be in conflict with the Isralies and will be satisfied with nothing less than the destruction of the Jews. It’s in their nature. The Afghanis will riot and kill the outsider and steal the aid we meant for the poor and starving. That’s all right with them because they are doing Mohammed’s will by taking from the infidel. It’s in their nature. Why does the rape of aid workers… – It’s in their nature. Burn a girl’s school… – It’s in their nature. Destroy vaccines meant to… It’s in their nature. Burn…It’s in their nature. Terroize… It’s in their nature. Bomb… It’s in their nature.
Why do I feel no compassion for Vittorio Arrigoni? The Moslems killed it.
Arch commented:
The Middle East is not a compassionate or even a logical place. That is not as a result of any Westerner’s action. islam is not a religion; it’s a despotic, imperialistic political system, bound on enslaving everyone on Earth. I would ban islam, destroy all the mosques here and throw every islamist out of America.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
One more thing… The Koranimals probably took turns buggering the poor guy before they killed him. The demonic entity known as “Allah” whom they worship has commanded them to do this to their prisoners (and each other).
Callipygian1 commented:
Karen… Sorry, I not only have no compassion for that tool, I AM glad he’s gone. You see, he was an enabler that wrote glowing prose about the heroic struggle of the Palestinian masses. This should serve to give pause to other cretins who support the religion of peace. By his actions he likely convinced others to join the struggle and kill Christians and innocents; how much blood was already on his hands? Go preach to the Middle East, I for one no longer want to hear it. There is only one way to deal with them, and here is a hint: WWAACD – What Would An Ant Colony Do? They would eliminate any ants that were not 100% commited to survival of the species, including their own.
I guess I just haven’t learned my life lessons, and I am doomed to repeat 7th karma; so be it; maybe next time I can be a professional golfer.

Karen, you hypocrit. Practice what you preach. I gave you the benefit of the doubt about being a conservative in previous posts, but now I know better. You are not a conservative. So, just admit you’re a liberal leftist. I’ll reserve the word, troll, for a future rant of yours.
“We Are the World” may be your Utopia but it’s not the real world. And the REAL world is alot darker and evil than you realize.
chuck in st paul commented:
Karen is just another self deluded intellectually infantile vaporhead. Like the Italian, she would be terribly confused as the knife started sawing her head off – “But… but… but, I’m here to help you!!”
America’s current problems stem from two groups of citizens who have dragged a once mighty and free nation into third world insanity – the utopianists like Karen, and the kleptocrats and freeloaders. A pox on all of ‘em.
